Despite the many years of imprisonment and adversity he faced, Nelson remained victorious and was voted to become South Africa's first black president. This inspiring book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the activist turned president's life.
